I Am A Rock
Embracing Solitude: Unraveling the Depths of Isolation in "I Am A Rock
Lyrics
A winter's day, in a deep and dark December
A cold winter day in a somber December.
I am alone, gazing from my window to the streets below
Feeling isolated, observing the streets from my window.
On a freshly fallen silent shroud of snow
Referring to a newly fallen layer of quiet snow.
I am a rock, I am an island
Declaring a sense of detachment and self-sufficiency.
I've built walls, a fortress deep and mighty that none may penetrate
Having constructed strong emotional barriers that no one can break.
I have no need of friendship, friendship causes pain
Rejecting the need for friendship, associating it with pain.
It's laughter and it's loving I disdain
Disliking joy, laughter, and love.
I am a rock, I am an island
Reiterating the self-imposed isolation and independence.
Don't talk of love well I've heard the words before
Expressing a cynical view towards love, claiming to have heard it all before.
It's sleeping in my memory
Love is a dormant memory, not actively engaging with it.
And I won't disturb the slumber of feelings that have died
Resisting the awakening of emotions that have faded away.
If I never loved I never would have cried
Recognizing the connection between love, pain, and tears.
I am a rock, I am an island
Reaffirming the identity of being emotionally detached.
I have my books and my poetry to protect me
Finding solace in literature and poetry as a means of protection.
I am shielded in my armor, hiding in my room, safe within my womb
Describing a state of emotional armor, seclusion, and safety.
I touch no one and no one touches me
Avoiding physical and emotional contact with others.
I am a rock, I am an island
Reiterating the self-imposed identity of emotional independence.
